Indiana reportedly offered him an extension starting at 25 mil/yr, and he declined. In order to get him to stay in Houston, u would likely need to offer him over 30 mil/yr, especially since he will be 1 of the better free agents in such a weak class.
Nothing against VO, but giving this man long term money is a commitment to mediocrity for the foreseeable future and I vehemently oppose this. A Wall / Wood/ Dipo / EG core is good for about 100 million a year and a perennial ninth seed, with little to no upside. VO needs to be traded, along with Tucker for the best offer on the table.
hate for Gordon is unreal. The only reason he isn't our best and top20 player in the league is because injuries won't let him play that much with big intensity
Harden's early struggle in Brooklyn? Wut? If Oladipo was just jacking stuff and scoring I would look more favorably but he is just meh.
He looked awful last night and couldn’t get by his man. He’s also had plenty of good games since he’s been back from injury showing good explosiveness. I think how he feels is going to be a game by game thing and hopefully he will improve overall as he continues to recover from his injury.
Dipo is a capable of being a really good defender and his offense will come around hopefully. He's shown to be a better offensive player in his career than he has been the past couple games. I wouldn't trade him though if he is willing to resign long term or if the Rockets are in a decent playoff position.
Give him all the shots he needs to look like an all star plus he’s coming off an injury. He wants to go elsewhere.
I don't like this implicit bashing of Gordon. Gordon is a fantastic player, so I'm not playing this game. If Gordon were 28 playing like he is and hit the market, he'd likely get a max contract.
wall was getting to the basket at will and missing layups. Dipo whenever he could get close to the rim was throwing up garbage. We didn’t let Tate get his post ups and iso’s this game
Victor will be fine. By the deadline, he'll fetch at least 2 FRP's. Give him time ....with Wood....and the others. He's had one practice and zero time with everyone on the court. It's Helter Skelter out there for all at the moment. Let him get healthy and sure of himself again.
Yeah, I really wanted to complain but i couldn't for the fact that his defense was on point. He may have taken a while to heat up but he wasn't a liability.
Everybody saying we are going to trade Dipo by the trade deadline but I actually don't see it. If we didn't want him we simply wouldn't have taken him and ship him to another team like we did with Jarrett Allen. I think Stone geniunely likes Dipo. Keep in mind we gave an extra 2RP to Indy to acquire Dipo.
I would offer 27/28 mil AAV. And be fine keeping future flexibility. This team is way better defensively with Oladipo at SG. Maybe not a #1 scorer but I’d be fine with a bunch of #2 type scorers spread all around. Until they draft/make a trade for that star.
Did y’all see Oladipo with a Laker Jersey on for the post game?!!! Clear wanna be Diva move. Take his ass to LA!! I’ll take Tucker, a first plus, filler.
Pelicans are interested in Tucker, and They have alot of moveable parts. Lonzo Ball + Woods could be a thing if Boogie and John dont have it on nights.
Why would anybody give up 2 FRP's for him? What has he done since injury to think that? Would Gordon be able to get 2 FRP's?
